No, that's exactly how I'm looking at it. I understand why the collusion exists - it exists to protect college football as a money-making mechanism.
It also provides the NFL with a no-cost developmental league.
I just wonder why there's not more clamoring to blow this rule up. I can't recall a peep since Maurice Clarett challenged it last.
I will say this, though - if we accept this rule (that you cannot enter the NFL directly out of high school) - colleges should at least be honest about this. The notion that you go and get a "Communications" degree (insert your alma mater's sports academics program of choice) is insulting to everyone involved. Why not make a "Sports" degree that focuses on the elements of being an athlete or former athlete? Why is that taboo?
